Poured from a bottle @ MBCC 2023 (finally adding my notes). Hazy red with small pink head. Sour cherry, mild tartness, okay.
Funky and tart with some cherry juice, hints of sourness and earthiness. Quite balanced

Bottle pour by the brewer at Winter Affair. Misty ruby-purple body with traces of a pinkish head. Light aroma, cherry, some saliva and light soft funk. Lean, light taste, though he did state it's strong for his concept of beer, minerally, lovely sour cherry profile, lightly salty, lightly tart, nicely drinkable. Not as impressive for me as the plum that preceded it, but very good!

One of this Czech sour ale specialist’s fruit experiments, a genuine lambic (spontaneously fermented and coolshipped – so ignoring legal definitions) but brewed with spelt, which is not an ingredient in traditional Belgian lambic; macerated with sour cherries. Thanks Jasper for sharing. Medium sized, opening, pale pinkish, moussy head on a fiery ruby red-glowing beer. Aroma of very obvious ripe and fleshy sour cherries (‘witbuiken’ or some other old variety), cherry wine, lemon, cherry tree leaves, cinnamon, almond, sour yoghurt, red wine vinegar, blackberries. Tart onset, lots of fruit acidity mingled with lambic acids, but also containing a sweeter, softer, fleshy hint of ripe fruit (even if it is essentially sour fruit); juicy with soft carb, lemony edge, slender cereally core and vinous mouthfeel, ‘hardened’ by cherry pit tannins accentuating dryness in the finish – but this wave of generously fleshy, juicy sour cherry remains dominant. Very generously fruited, which compensates for the somewhat lower level of complexity in comparison with ‘real’ (Pajottenland) cherry lambics.
